Yes, that is correct, for those categories. 

As far as implementation, we'll want to review new fields as they are added,
which is why I prefer a whitelist approach (review what is released; hard to
accidentally release data accidentally) to a blacklist approach (review what is
not released; easy to release data accidentally by not adding it to the
blacklist).

Yes, based on my understanding that they are already available on toolserver in
user_properties_anonym and/or via the API. If they aren't already public (via
API or toolserver) we should probably review one-by-one, and/or do a more
careful scrutiny of the anonymization procedures. Maybe that deserves a
separate bug?
